I revamped a vintage brass Victorian snake ring into a sterling silver pendant with a new setting and a sparkling rose-cut Vesuvianite stone. The Vesuvianite is a gorgeous light olive green. I've oxidized and polished it to bring out the beautiful details. See the photo showing the sides of the pendant with its floral pattern. It hangs from a sterling silver cable chain with a secure lobster clasp.
The top of the pendant measures 13/16" long and .75" wide. It can be custom-made with any type of stone. The Vesuvianite stone measures 12x8mm. Total length of the necklace is 18".
